Please Note that this problem is for Advance users inly :P

I have a computer (duh) thats running win 98 SE on it. and a laptop running windows 98 on it. now i'm trying to do a cable connect with the 2. ie: from one printer port on LPT1 to the laptops printer port on LPT1. The problem is this. I start the host on the laptop. start the guest on the desktop. It says its verifying users, and it then verifies. then it sits for a while. pops up a window, asks for the computer name, and when i type in the computer name, it says it can't find it. I shared a folder on the hard drive of the host pc, and still no go. help me.

thanx
